The Rock is Here: Modern Sky Music Festival 2011

Are you prepared for three solid days of rock and roll?

Rock. Metal. Thrash. Electro. Folk. Experimental. 

This year’s Modern Sky Music Festival is going down in Huairou over the next three days – October 3, 4 and 5.

3 days of music, 3 days of creativity.

Out in Huairou, Modern Sky is a great excuse to escape the city into the countryside, breathe some fresh air and rock out to some great local and international artists.

October 3:  

• The Whip (UK)
• Super VC
• Lenka (Australia)

October 4:  

• The Go! Team (UK)
• Hanggai
• Carsick Cars

 October 5:  

• Mogwai (UK):
•  The Ocean (Germany)

Ticket information is available in Chinese here. An English language ticket guide is also available here.

Prices:

• 1 Day Ticket is RMB 150 (RMB 120 in advance) 
• 3 Day Tickets RMB 350 (RMB 300 in advance) 

Rumor has it that tickets for the express bus from Shaoyaoju to the venue in Huairou are sold out, so you may need to arrange for your own transport out there either through public transportation or taxi.
